We’re here to help you navigate privacy breaches

A privacy breach occurs when there is unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, or destruction of personal information, or if such activities are unexpected. The Information Privacy Office (IPO) is excited to announce the release of two new resources:

  1. Managing a Privacy Breach Incident: Guidance to assist MacEwan departments to effectively respond to privacy breaches, mitigate risks and maintain public trust. This guidance provides step-by-step instructions for containing, assessing and preventing future privacy incidents.
  2. Privacy Breach Notification Guidance: Clear recommendations on when and how to notify affected individuals and regulators about a breach. This resource ensures compliance with privacy laws while maintaining transparency and accountability.

These resources are designed to empower you to handle sensitive situations with confidence and care, protecting personal information and organizational integrity.

Access these resources today and stay prepared! Visit the IPO website for details.
